3BUS 208 000 R1301 203Replacement Procedures
Note: It may become necessary to cut the utility lines on the manifold at
the Scanning Platform idler end. The utility line is long enough to
take up the slack. However, this should not be done too many times.
Make sure the ribbon cable connectors are flat. This will make
removal easier.
3. Disconnect the power and signal cables at the idler end column.
4. Jog the head to the drive end.
5. At the drive end, remove cable carrier mounting bracket.
6. Roll cable carrier back and pull power and signal cables from carriage.
7. At the idler end column, remove cable carrier retaining bolt.
8. Pull cable carrier out just enough so that it lays flat at the drive end.
9. At the drive end, with both cables out of the carriage, tape the old cable to the
new cable using a high-strength tape. For example, use strapping or shipping
tape. See Figure 10-11.
Figure 10-11 Cable Suspension
10. While one person at the drive end guides the new cable through the cable carrier,
another person at the idler end column pulls the new cable through the platform.
Once the cable is all the way through, leave enough excess cable at the idler
end column to allow for a cable dress back into the idler end PC board.
Keep the cable carrier, ribbon cables, and utility lines clean. Dust and dirt will
cause premature wear of the cables.
Note: Replacement of the complete assembly, ribbon cables, or utility lines
can be accomplished at this time. If replacing the ribbon cable
assembly, measure the length of cable exposed at each end and
terminate new cable at the same length.

11. At the drive end, leave 60 inches of excess cable from the end of the cable
carrier and cut the cable.
12. Terminate the signal cable according to Engineering Drawings 121974-003 and
121974-004.
